Seeking a HTTP Proxy? Being 100% anonymous on the internet is easier said than done. Anyone can be anonymous on the internet with a proxy, but here is where the problems start. This is because there are so many types of proxy servers that it can be confusing for many people. Of all the proxy servers you can use, nothing compares to a http proxy when it comes to protecting yourself on the internet.
HTTP Proxy Servers transfer information that you receive or get while surfing online. The proxy server is the machine that does the web surfing. This means that the IP you use while online isn't your home computer's IP, it is the IP of the proxy. So, if someone looks at your IP while you are surfing their website, they can only see the proxy server IP and if surfing with a http proxy there is no way they know you are even using a proxy server.
Nothing is better than a http proxy because they offer the highest level of anonymity possible from a proxy. While using a http proxy not only are you 100% anonymous, but if anyone looks at or examines an IP on a http proxy they can detect nothing unusual about it. No-one can detect you have changed your IP. If someone can tell you have changed your IP you aren't really anonymous. If you are serious about being anonymous online and HTTP Proxies, nothing beats a http proxy. The speed, anonymity and ability for IPs to be cloaked so you look like any other average Joe on the internet makes them the absolute best proxy solution.
Want to know what the best way to get a proxy of your own is? There are actually a couple of different ways to get proxies. The first method is basically using free proxies found on the internet and the second method is not free and costs money. Finding free proxies on the internet isn't hard, but they aren't worth much if anything at all. Just why free proxies aren't reliable goes beyond the scope of this article and this is the main reason why paid proxies actually make sense.
Paid proxies are actually much cheaper than you may think. For as little as $5 USD a month you have a completely secure and fast proxy that you don't need to share with anyone else. There are many reasons why you may need your own private proxy. Unlike free proxies which are often not secure or anonymous, paid proxies are totally secure. You don't need to worry about it being slow and suddenly not working one day. If you spend or have spent time looking for free proxies, then you probably already know how much trouble it can be. Save yourself a lot of agony and setup your own proxy server. You'll be glad you did.
